I really appreciate the time these guys invested in this course and am willing to take it again if they re-explain some topics in order to refresh some things that with time haven't stayed in my mind.

It was a wonderful journey of learning how to learn. Simple and effective. Wish i had come across something like this a little early in life. But better late than never. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

students who took this course could read the book called "how to become a straight-a student" by Cal Newport. some of the statements are similar to the course so i think it will be more helpful.

Initially, I thought this was going to be boring course since people like me would rather sign up for technical areas. At the end was different.Now, I feel like signing up a motivational course.

I am now able to approach "difficult" tasks with confidence. The pomodoro technique is my key takeaway form this course, I use it all the time. Small focused efforts contribute to the end goal!!
